Royal Palace.

When Chu Liuyue arrived with Chu Ning, Emperor Jiawen and the Empress were already waiting in the hall.

Also sitting below were Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen.

On the other side, there was another person - Rong Jiu.

Chu Liuyue had heard Chu Ning talk about what happened before, so she was not surprised that Rong Jiu was here.

Her eyes swept quickly across the bodies of the people in the hall.

Emperor Jiawen's face had no expression, but his eyes were dull.

The queen is much haggard than when she saw her last time, as if she has become more than a teenager all of a sudden.

It can be seen that these recent events have tortured her very much.

When Rong Jin saw Chu Liuyue, a complicated look flashed across his face.

In his hand, he was holding a hairpin.

Chu Liuyue guessed that that was the one they said they found Rong Zhen in their backyard before.

Situ Xingchen and Rong Jiu both looked calm and could not tell anything.

Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue saluted in turn.

Emperor Jiawen asked the two to sit down.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, then... let's start!"

Emperor Jiawen no longer had the patience and went straight to the point, looked at Situ Xingchen, and asked in a deep voice:

"Xingchen, you said before that you have seen Liu Yue and Zhenzhen together, but it is true?"

Situ Xingchen stood up and bowed.

"When you say that, Xingchen dared not say anything, and everything he said was true. Because the Jiuyou Tower caught fire that day, Xingchen remembered it very clearly. After the Jiuyou Tower collapsed, Taiyan Academy was about to leave the next day, so I quickly went back to pack my luggage. Unexpectedly, I happened to see Rong Zhen and Chu Liuyue on the way."

Emperor Jiawen asked:

"Where were other people at that time?"

"There is an old man in a black robe, but I didn't see any appearance."

"Then have you heard them say?"

"I didn't hear it at that time. But seeing that they were very close, I thought they had a good relationship. Unexpectedly, later..."

Emperor Jiawen's face became even colder.

The old man with black robe who followed must be Si Meng.

If Situ Xingchen was telling a lie, how could she know Si Meng's existence?

"Actually, after seeing this scene that day, I felt a little strange." Situ Xingchen looked up at Emperor Jiawen and said hesitantly, "Because that day, Your Majesty had just given marriage and divorce to King Chu Liuyue. So I wondered for a long time when I saw her and Rong Zhen together."

Everyone knows it.

This time point is really too special.

No matter how good the relationship between Chu Liuyue and Rong Zhen is, it seems that she should not be with her on the day she was given a marriage.

What's more, who doesn't know that there was ever a conflict between these two people?

They are really suspicious to be together.

Emperor Jiawen asked again:

"What happened later? Have you ever seen them go?"

Situ Xingchen shook his head:

"I just took a look from afar and left because I was rushing back. I didn't know where they were going."

Emperor Jiawen nodded: "Sit down."

Then, he looked at Chu Liuyue again.

"Liu Yue, you have heard all the words just now. What do you have to say?"

Chu Liuyue gently tapped the armrest of the chair with one hand and looked at Situ Xingchen thoughtfully.

The words she said just now were actually very vague, but the existence of Si Meng made her words more credible.

After all, even Emperor Jiawen didn’t know Si Meng’s existence before, so it is natural that Situ Xingchen could say this.

In other words, Situ Xingchen had indeed known Si Meng's existence for a long time.

Perhaps, she also knew what happened that day.

It was just for some reason that she couldn't speak it out completely, but could only choose a compromise statement.

After all, even so, he could still push Rong Zhen’s affairs on her.

Chu Liuyue said lightly:

"I didn't see Rong Zhen that day."

"That day, Li Wang sent someone to send my father and I home. After that, the Chu family sent an invitation and my father went there. I stayed at home and did not come out. People from the Chu family can testify about this matter."

Many people know about Chu Ning going to the Chu Mansion, and they have been discussed for a long time in private.

Who doesn’t know that the Chu family regrets driving Chu Ning and his daughter out, and is trying every means to persuade them to go back!

Chu Ning said:

"That's right. Yue'er planned to go back with me that day, but later she was dissuaded by me and she stayed at home."

"Even so, who can tell that she did not go out during the gap between you, Lord Chu Ning? "Rong Jin argued, "What's more, you are a father-daughter relationship, so the testimony you said may not be taken completely seriously."

Chu Ning's brows froze slightly.

If the other party always says this, they can't refute it.

Because he and Yue'er really couldn't prove that during this period of time, Yue'er had been at home.

Chu Liuyue suddenly said:

"I heard that the hairpin appeared inexplicably, and even the Queen couldn't tell how that thing came about. How could everyone know that everything else you said is true?"

The queen was angry: You!"

Chu Liuyue really doesn’t know which pot you can pick up which pot you can!

His Majesty was already very dissatisfied with her because of this hairpin yesterday. Now she mentioned it again, wouldn’t he give His Majesty eye drops?

Rong Jin frowned and hid the hairpin in his hand.

He originally thought that this hairpin was really a solid evidence, but judging from the reaction of his mother, it is hard to say what happened...

Both sides have different opinions and the scene is deadlocked.

Rong Jiu suddenly said:

"Actually, the key to this matter is to find Rong Zhen's whereabouts. The Empress, Rong Zhen's original pill, was shattered, and with her own ability, she would definitely not be able to leave the palace quietly. In other words, she must have left with the help of Si Meng. Although Si Meng is dead,... did he not leave any clues?"

The queen was even more irritated.

She knew that every time Si Meng was mentioned once more, the dissatisfaction and disgust in His Majesty's heart would be even more serious.

But now if all the blame is completely pushed to Chu Liuyue, Si Meng is another very critical figure.

She rubbed her temples and said:

"No. Si Meng died suddenly."

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Liuyue with doubt.

"By the way, then again, Si Meng is a fifth-level warrior, and ordinary people are not his opponents at all. Those who can kill him so quickly must be extremely strong! There seem to be not many people of this level in the entire imperial capital."
